Dinner conversation with a five-year-old and other ridiculousness

Hazel: What do you think this spaghetti sauce is made of it is kind of like pizza sauce I bet it has tomatoes in it or maybe it has ketchup in it I think it goes pretty well with this milk is this a seed in my meatball that would be kind of weird to have a seed in a meatball do you remember the ham that I told you Braelyn brings for lunch I was thinking that maybe I would bring that for lunch one day it’s kind of a circle shaped ham that could go with cheese but not bread I do not want to eat the ham with bread because you know I don’t like ham sandwiches I like cheese sandwiches but I only ate half of my cheese sandwich today at lunch so maybe I will try bringing the ham instead do you think we could go to the store to try to find the same ham that Braelyn eats tomorrow is pepperoni pizza day I don’t like pepperoni pizza but if I take off the pepperoni it will be cheese pizza and I like cheese pizza so maybe tomorrow I’ll have that WAIT WHY ARE YOU TWO FINISHED EATING HOW DID YOU EAT SO MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN I DID?

Andrew: Because we didn’t talk the whole time?

Hazel: Well, I have to ask a lot of questions. I am a curious girl. And aren’t you glad to have a lot-of-talking girl?

Me: Well…

Hazel: So the circle ham can go on top of a slice of cheese in my lunch that is how Braelyn eats it is this another seed in my meatball…

Oh my goodness. Gotta love it. Kinda like Shay telling me she loves the “pink fish” (Salmon) I made last week, but doesn’t like my “pink fish” patties I made this week. Suffice it to say, I can’t remember exactly how she worded it, but it was a similarly lengthy story like Hazel’s.

There was a saying at my dinner table “less talking…more eating”. It was sparked by a five year old who looked very much like Hazel. BTW she is now a vet, so keep the faith. Hazel could just be brainstorming her way to a Nobel Prize!
